PASO ROBLES — The new year was welcomed with a roaring fire on Sunday night, Dec. 31, for the second annual New Year’s Eve Bonfire in Paso Robles.
“The nice part of it is everyone gets together, enjoys the community, has a great time, and we are all here in this together for New Year’s Eve. It’s wonderful,” said Paso Robles City Councilmember Steve Gregory at the bonfire event.
At the event held in City Park, the holiday lights still adorned trees throughout the park, and thousands found warmth next to the bonfire. Last year was the first time the city introduced the event. However, the rainy weather got in the way and dampened the mood.
